Guix has graft for something similar to this: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Security-Upda...

It's one of the points where it differs from Nix.

Is this different from Nix's `system.replaceRuntimeDependencies` posted in the sibling comment?

I was hoping to get an answer to your question as well, but I've only used Guix, so I can't really tell.

Guix grafts are used to distribute updates, and they're quite easy to use, that's all I can say.
